Today we had a very interesting meeting with the IT guru of Kenya and East Africa, Erik Hersman. Erik is the founder of Ushahidi and the iHub, working in order to promote the development of the IT sector in Kenya and its surrounding countries.

iHub was started just one year ago and today it has about 4000 members. Some of them attend specific seminars and events coordinated by the iHub, while others rent a working desk in order to work and develop IT applications. Last week, a new project was introduced, called mlabs with the purpose of supporting companies in the area of mobile applications. Nokia is the first global company entering partnership with the mlab. FocusOn is looking forward to following the development of mlab!
